A new full-bleed, responsive and interactive video player to embed Facebook videos on your site. The player features controls like play/pause, HD/SD toggle and full-screen mode, and also lets people like or share the video right from the player.
The social network also hinted at future plans for video in a Facebook Media blog post:
Over the coming months, we’re redesigning the video upload flow for pages with new control and customization features including expiration dates, audience restrictions and more.
